Welcome to The Diggers Rest freehouse and restaurant, in Exeter, Devon.

Mike and Amanda are delighted to welcome you to The Digger's Rest, and to our new website.

At The Diggers Rest, quality is at the heart of everything we do – from the sourcing of our food and drink to the recruitment of our staff. All our dishes are freshly prepared. We have real ales on tap, fine wines supplied by local merchants and a selection of Italian Fairtrade coffees.

Whether you want to sit by the fire with a paper and a coffee, catch up on your email using our free wireless internet access (now avilable throughout the pub), meet friends for a drink or enjoy a leisurely meal, The Digger’s Rest has exactly the right kind of ambience.

A disabled access ramp is available (ask at the bar or ring ahead). Baby changing facilities and high chairs are available.

Coming Soon...

The Digger's Rest has a few projects under way. We will soon be offering Devonshire Cream Tea's (2pm til 5pm daily), as well as opening early for morning coffees and muffins.

Keep an eye out on our site for further notices.

Cheers and have a fantastic day... :-)
